A couple of e-mail msgs from '96 that came to me--just forwarding the information for your perusal. In the Nat'l Huguenot's Society's Register of Qualified Ancestors is: Francis Posey, d 1654, St. Mary's co. MD, mar to Elizabeth ? She married 2d John Belaine, and 3rd John Smith. Francis fled to London then VA in 1637, was in St. Mary's co, MD in 1650. Children: Anne b ? mar 1699 to Joynn Mould; Benjamin b 1648 d 1715, m to Mary? Belaine widow of Nicholas Belaine; John: b 1652 mar ca 1679 to Susanna (prob Belaine?) So the two names Posey and Belaine were actually two families related by marriage. (Dorothy) another: Francis PROSCHET/Posey born in france, crossed the sea in a sailboat for America. He came in a group with 40 immigrants with William Farrar, SR to Henrico Co VA and landed June 11, 1637. In 1640 he moved to St. Mary's MD and became a large landowner. His patent included 100 acres for John Villain/Belaine's transportation in 1646. Francis died Mar 1654. His widow, Elizabeth m ca 1654 John Belaine who died in 1663. Francis & Elizabeth had Anne, Benjamin and John. Elizabeth and John Belaine had Nicholas and Grace. (Gene)
